About this Quote

John Aubrey's quote recommends that death needs to be celebrated as much as birth. He argues that if Solomon, a smart and reputable figure in the Bible, thought that the day of one's death was much better than the day of one's birth, then there need to be no reason why that day should not be thought about amazing and happy. This quote indicates that death must not be viewed as a disaster, however rather as a cause for event. It recommends that death is a natural part of life and need to be embraced as such. It likewise implies that life must be lived to the fullest, as death must be seen as a reward for a life well-lived. Ultimately, this quote encourages us to appreciate the life we have and to take advantage of it, as death must be viewed as a favorable occasion.
